Rational man in Economics

Project Details

Description

How does the historico-culturally determined and changing public opinion on human rationality determine the nature and change of theoretical convictions of economists? The aim is to participate in modern discussions on the (future) function of labour, the meaning of technical progress, the presuppositions and problems of the modern concepts of production and productivity. The contribution is a contrastful plethora of hunches, ideas, utopian phantasies en insights derived and to be derived from the history and philosophy of economics.
